Threatened Lynching.

Last Monday Charles Venable and Pres
ton Johnson, colored, were lodged IN jail by
Constable Mcclure. of Riyerheads district.
They were charged with having burned the
barn of Mr.. Glover. an account of which
we published last week. So conclusive was
the evidence against them, and so enraged
were the people of the community at the
dastardIy act, that strong threats Of violence
were INDUCED, and to evade possible lynch
ing, the officer had to get his prisoners to
Jail by circuitous route. On Tuesday
there were rumors that the jail would be
assaulted that night. To prevent trouble
an effort was made to get the prisoners off
TO Richmond, and the Authorities of the
gailrGad were communicated with for per
mission to send them down on the freight.
the passenger trains having passed. It
was so late, however, before the permits
sion could be obtained, that it was thougl f
prudent to get the intended victims out of
the way. A carriage was secured, and in
charge of Sheriff Speck and Deputy Slower,
the accused were driven to Harrisonburg,
L
day night. When the men were taken
from the Jail te the carriage which awaited
them in Court House alley. they were ter
Elbly frigl tened and elung to the officers
who escorted ti.em.
The removal was made none too soon.
as it is now known that q large body of
masked men had collected on the Middle
brook road, and that an effort to lynch the
incendiaries would have been made during
the night. The party evidently had it's
pickets posted in town. and after it was
learned that their intended victims had
been removed the crowd dispersed.
The prisoners will be taken to Richmond
to await trial. The judge has summoned
a special grand jury to the March term of
the County Court composed OF the follow
ing: Samuel F. Pilson, E. A. Fulcher,
John b. Hunter, A. il. Berry. John Rou-
.dabush, SiIas Fl. Walker, Jacob Croft, John
II, Smith, SiIas l.. Huff.

A DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.-On Tues
day last Mr.. John NJ. Carroll. son of Patrick
Carroll, Esq, and one the most popular
young men of Stanton, reached home from
Florida where he had been engaged in rail-
reading. Some weeks ago. through the
carelessness of the engineer, the train upon
which Jack was firing was wrecked, and in
the smash-up hejwas badly hurt, his right
leg being so crushed that it had to be am
putated below the knee. His appearance
in Stauntons minus limb was surprise
to his friends, it not being generally known
that his injuries were of SO serious char
acter. The wound has. healed up and the
patient is aole to do some little moving
around on crutches. He was accompanied
home by his sister, Mrs. Devine, of Florida.

WILLIAMS &c Co.'S. splendid brands of
tobacco are advertised in another column.
The public need only to be told where to
buy them. Their popularity has long since
been established, and their reputation is so
solidly founded that no one now questions
the value of the article stamped with the
tag of Williams 6 Co. For years this
house has used none but the choicest va
rieties and best prepared tobaccos that
could be raised. and the result is a line of
goods so far superior to its would -he-riVais
that there is scarcely competition. The
house is represented in the Valley by that
active agent and genial gentleman, Mr.. y.
M. Goode. who never has and never will
sell anything but the best.

LEG BRoKEN.-John Dallas. Esq,
prominent citizen of South River district,
had the misfortune to break his leg on last
Friday night under the following circum-
stances: Mr.. D. reached home late on the
night in question, and after the family had
retired for the night. He was riding a
very spirited mare, and ON dismounting his
foot hung in the stirrLp, when the mare
turned quickly as though to start, to the
stable, aud as she turned, playfully kicked
striking Mr., Dallas on the thigh and break
ing the bone. Mr.. d. fell to the ground
where he lay until his cries for help we're
heard by members of the family, who hast
ened to his assistance, finding him in a
very sad plight. He was at once carried
to the house where such applications as
were at hand were made to alleviate his
sufferings until the physician who bad been
sent for arrived. The fracture was reduced
and Mr.. D. made as comfortable as the cir
cumstanees allowed. Latest reports are to
the effect that the patient is doing quite
well

Easter Sunday.

Last Sabbath was an ideal Easter day.
The sun shor.e warm and bright and the
reefs were filled with handsomely dress
ed women and men and happy children.
At the churches, where special Easter
services were held, large congregations as
sembled, and the ceremonies were particu-
larry interesting and impressive. This
was especially the case at the Catholic
Church, where the services were conduct
ed by Rev. Father McVerry. The music
was unusually fine. The lately reorganized
choir did their work with an earnestness
and precision that would do credit to a
large city.
Mr.. Walter. in whose hands the choir has
for years placed its trust, seems to be gifted
with the happy faculty Of inspiring enthusi
a'm and keep the choir in harmony socially
as well as unsteady. The secret of the
success seems to. be the perfect obedience
to the wishes of the organist and his judg-
ment of the ability of each member and
the parts best suited to him or her. The
different numbers of the service were
taken from the masses of various composers
to suit the choir.
We notice with pleasure that Mrs. Moan
nee Miss Lena Scherer, is still giving the
efficient service that the choir and church
have enjoyed for years. Her Regina
coeli and Doner N o bis - were rendered
with the emphasis and style the composition
as we'll as the occasion required. A great
acquisition to the choir has been gained
in the person of Mrs. Metcalf, who sang
the ''Agnns Del" from Mozart's first
mass, most beautifully. It was gem IN
deed Special pride does Mr.. w. take in
his 6 little altos, as he is pleased to call
them. They are the two Misses Wholey,
Mamie and Maggie. and his own daughters,
Misses Marie and Annie. To their care the
Benedictus," from Millard s mass in B
flat was given, and their work was well
done. The position of the altos is the train
ing school for the future sopranos. And
the gentlemen, although from courtesy to-
wards the ladies We mention them last,
were not least. Messrs Paul Donavan,
Paul Crow. and Tom German had import
ant solos, including the ''Et in Carnatus
est, -" Eft in Spiritum. "and q Saluteris. %
In the balance of the important work Misses
Maggie Hounihan, Ella Moran. Kate
Knightly, and Annie Hounihan, as well as
Messrs. John Donavan, Willie Walter, and
Martin Bergen rendered important service
At the Episcopal church the services
were conducted by the rector, Rev. w. O..
Hullihen. assisted by ReY. DR.. DeShields;
The music, under the direction of Prof.
Webb, was unusually fine. even for that
celebrated choir. There were solos by Mrs,
Bumgardner, Misses Tams and Berkeley
and Messrs. Cooke and Euritt. The pro.
gramme included: Prelude; Voluntary.
AS it began to dawn Christ our Passover;
Gloria Patri; Festival TIE Deum Jubilate:
Gloria T ibi Offertory, Christ the Lord has
risen; Savetas and Gloria in Excelsis.
At the Lutheran church the children
had an Easter service, and the music was
very fine.

The following is the preamble anu IeSo-
luton offered by Mr.. Gibbs and unani-
mously adopted:
Being fully persuaded that the influence of
the saloon is the greatest obstacle to the peace
| and prosperity OF our city. o,,,os ,ato
sociation to be known as the Stanton Tenn
perance League and to work under the fol-
lowing rules and regulations:
!. The officers shall consist of president.
eight yice-preSidents, and secretary, and who.
with 20 members shall form the executive com
mittee. The president 81 all be chairman OF the
.. The executive committee shall meet at
least once month, and shall have power to call
| q meeting OF the League whenever fhey deem
it advisable.
;. The object of the League is to redeem and
protect this city from tn rule of the bar-room.
and to see that none but sober men are elected
10 fill the various offices in the city.
L. 1t shall be the duty of the executive COM
mittee to investigate all reported violations OF
the liquor laws. and if they haye reasonable
grounds to believe that the laws haye been vio-
lated, to bring the matter to the attention of
the proper authorities for investigation.
AS secondary object of the meeting,
Mr. Gibbs offered a resolution in reference
to contesting the election of one eek ago,
on the ground of the illegality of the paper
used as ballots, partly, by the wet y
voters. Mr.. G. said that upon pretty full
consultation by the committee, and that
after advice too, from counsel here at home
as we'll as elsewhere. it was thought best,
especially in view of the great expense at
tending it, and the long tedium of trial
through the different courts, not to make
any further test of the validity or invalid
ity of the count. The resolution was
adopted with one dissenting voice.
A number Of short speeches followed, all
evidencing the best of humor. No harsh
language or Incorporate thoughts marred
or marked the general good feeling that
prevailed all round, and if the unanimity
in the object sought for of the large rep.
resentative meeting of Monday night be
taken for aught, then one thing seems GER
tain. that sooner or later the sale ard man.
ufacture of ardent spirits must in our fair
Hill City be numbered among the things
that were.
Col. Demorest, brother-in- law of Capt
Curtis. and the husband of Madame Dem
crest, of fashion notoriety, being present
by chance, and called upon, spoke encour-
agingly ofathe progress of the prohibition
movement all over the country. Abiding
to our recent election. he thought with
everybody else present, that the election
on the 9Th of April was substantial VIC
tory for the s. drys." and was only another
harbinger of the greater victories which
were in the near future to announce the
downfall throughout oil Christendom of
one of the .mightiest monopolies of evil
that ever cursed even sin destroying
world.
